Euro 2024 Predictor
Gillard BT
Updated: 2024-06-21
## [1] "All entries are correctly formatted: TRUE"Welcome to the Euro 2024 Predictor Championship! The aim of the game is simple, predict the scores for all of the group stage games at this year’s tournament. Each correct score earns 3 points. Each correct result earns 1 point.
WE ARE LIVE! All entries have been fed into the predictor machine and there is nothing left to do except watch how your predictions turn out.
We have 35 players involved so we have a healthy kitty to pay out for the top 5 players. £78.75 goes to the top dog. £43.75 for the top loser. £26.25 for the best of the rest. And £8.75 for 4th, 5th, and 6th places.
On the Leaderboard you’ll see an extra player called RandomControlEntry in red. These predictions were generated randomly using the macro included in the spreadsheet. So if you have fewer points than RandomControlEntry, any thought you put into your entry was an utter waste of time.
Go to Results Tracker for a more in depth look at which games scored you points.

When 2 players have the same points tally, correct scores are taken into account. If players are still equal, the tie break question “How many total goals (including knockout games but excluding penalty shoot outs) will England score at Euro 2024?” will come into play. Closest wins.
I’ve set up a Euros Predictor Whatsapp group. It’s the best place to gloat/cry about your guesses. Click here to join the group. Or scan the QR code below.
England Goals (tie breaker)
Tracks the tie break question of how many goals England will score. The TrueGoals are updated after every England game.
Hypothetical Euros
Who do we, as a collective of Mystic Megs, predict will be the winners and losers in the group stage? This plot shows how many times each team has been predicted to win a match in the group stages.
More specifically, how many times does each player think the home nations will win in the group stage (more teams available on request)? And how many boring draws do people think we’ll suffer through?
Results Tracker
This Results Tracker has a bit more depth than the Leaderboard. It shows what points everyone has scored for each game.
Hover over each tile for more information (might not work on phones). Green = Correct Score (3 points), Yellow = Correct Result (1 point), Grey = Wrong! (nil pois).
